The length of a side of the original square is about 12 inches.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length of the original square, hence:

Area = x * x = x²

When the area is doubled:

2x² = (x + 6)(x + 4)

x² + 10x + 24 = 2x²

x² - 10x - 24 = 0

x = 12 inches

The length of a side of the original square is about 12 inches.

Answer:

x = -5, and y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have two equations:

A = B

and

C = D

combining the equations means that we will do:

First we multiply both whole equations by constants:

k*(A = B) ---> k*A = k*B

j*(C = D) ----> j*C = j*D

And then we "add" them:

k*A + j*C = k*B + j*D

Now we have the equations:

-x  - y = 11

4*x - 5*y = 10

We want to add them in a given form that one of the variables cancels, so we can solve it for the other variable.

Then we can take the first equation:

-x  - y = 11

and multiply both sides by 4.

4*(-x - y = 11)

Then we get:

4*(-x - y) = 4*11

-4*x - 4*y = 44

Now we have the two equations:

-4*x - 4*y = 44

4*x - 5*y = 10

(here we can think that we multiplied the second equation by 1, then we have k = 4, and j = 1)

If we add them, we get:

(-4*x - 4*y) + (4*x - 5*y) = 10 + 44

-4*x - 4*y + 4*x - 5*y = 54

-9*y = 54

So we combined the equations and now ended with an equation that is really easy to solve for y.

y = 54/-9 = -6

Now that we know the value of y, we can simply replace it in one of the two equations to get the value of x.

-x - y = 11

-x - (-6) = 11

-x + 6 = 11

-x = 11 -6 = 5

-x = 5

x = -5

Then:

x = -5, and y = -6
